Harley,

If Bush came out and told the truth of what we really face in respect to our Islamic foes he would essentially start a global conflict. It would be easier to lauch massive strikes just before he said it. We do not have the military manpower or a population with the stomach for such a pronouncement. So until we toughen up a bit we just have to hear the sanitized version. "Islam is not our enemy" while we move the pieces to contain and control that not offically recognized enemy. Tiem will bear me out on this one I promise.
